#racelocal 2018

#Racelocal is BACK!

What is #racelocal?
Entering it’s 5th year, #racelocal exists to showcase the amazing obstacle course racing community we have here in the New England region. From family friendly charity races, to weekend long endurance events – we’re fortunate to live in a hot bed of obstacle course races, and we want to motivate you to expand your horizons and try more events.

Nationally recognized as the leading “support local” OCR program.

UPDATE – as of May 2018, #racelocal is offered as part of the New England Spahtens annual membership! Along with your #racelocal swag, you get all the benefits of membership too! 10% off everything in the store!

How does it work?
We work with Race Directors and list all participating events below. You run those races, then come home and log your finish. We ship you your awards and prizes through the year. The more races you run, the more points you earn, the more prizes you get! Wether you are competitive, or simply running for fun, our points and prizes are motivation to stay active, stay local and explore the local OCR scene.

What points do I earn?
Our points series changes each and every year. Our goal is to tweak, adjust, fix bugs and provide motivation. One major change this year is our focus on getting you out to MORE events, rather than the previous heavy focus on multiple laps (of course, multiple laps will be rewarded!)

The New England Spahtens is the leading obstacle course race community in the country. Since our launch in 2012, we’ve consistently helped make New England the best region for obstacle course racing, supporting local racing with our often copied #racelocal program, and supporting new racers and serious athletes alike.
